Research summary
Title: Understanding Adults with Intellectual Disabilities’ Experiences of Restrictive Practice in Community Services
Background: Restrictive practice is when an aspect of someone's care limits their freedom in order to keep them and/or other people safe. For example, someone may be supervised when doing a certain activity (e.g. going to the shops) if this is necessary to keep the person safe.
Aims:
- Explore how adults with intellectual disabilities living in the community understand and experience restrictive practice.
- Explore how adults with intellectual disabilities make sense of their experiences of restrictive practice
- Explore how adults with intellectual disabilities contribute to decisions around the restrictive practice they experience
Participants: Up to 15 adults with intellectual disabilities experiencing restrictive practice in community services
Design: A qualitative design will be used following the guidelines for Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.
Procedure Summary: Participants will engage in one-to-one semi-structured interviews to capture their knowledge, attitudes and experiences of restrictive practice. Interview transcripts will be analysed to identify themes across the dataset.REC name
